DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The text below provides a detailed description of the present disclosurein conjunction with specific embodiments illustrated in the attacheddrawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the presentdisclosure. The scope of protection for the present disclosure coverschanges made to the structure, method, or function by persons havingordinary skill in the art on the basis of these embodiments.

To facilitate the presentation of the drawings in the presentdisclosure, the sizes of certain structures or portions may be enlargedrelative to other structures or portions. Therefore, the drawings in thepresent application are only for the purpose of illustrating the basicstructure of the subject matter of the present application. The samenumbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elementsunless otherwise represented.

Additionally, terms in the text indicating relative spatial position,such as “front,” “back,” “upper,” “lower,” “above,” “below,” and soforth, are used for explanatory purposes in describing the relationshipbetween a unit or feature depicted in a drawing and another unit orfeature therein. Terms indicating relative spatial position may refer topositions other than those depicted in the drawings when a device isbeing used or operated. For example, if a device shown in a drawing isflipped over, a unit which is described as being positioned “below” or“under” another unit or feature will be located “above” the other unitor feature. Therefore, the illustrative term “below” may includepositions both above and below. A device may be oriented in other ways(rotated 90 degrees or facing another direction), and descriptive termsthat appear in the text and are related to space should be interpretedaccordingly. When a component or layer is said to be “above” anothermember or layer or “connected to” another member or layer, it may bedirectly above the other member or layer or directly connected to theother member or layer, or there may be an intermediate component orlayer.

Comparative Example

FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view of a micro-LED structure 1, accordingto a comparative example. The micro-LED structure 1 in the comparativeexample illustrated in FIG. 18 differs from the micro-LED structure 1000of the first embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1A in that the lightemitting layer 103 does not extend along the horizontal level away fromthe top edge 101 a of the first type conductive layer 101 and the bottomedge 102 a of the second type conductive layer 102. Instead, in thecomparative example, the edge 103 a of the light emitting layer 103 isaligned with both of the top edge 101 a of the first type conductivelayer 101 and the bottom edge 102 a of the second type conductive layer102.

As explained previously, the light emitting layer 103 may includemultiple pairs of quantum well layers. The number of multi-quantum well(MQW) pairs in the light emitting layer 103 is related to exposedsidewall area of the light emitting layer 103 which is generated by, forexample, inductively coupled plasma etching. The larger the exposedsidewall area, the more MQW pairs, resulting in larger surfacerecombination carrier loss.

In the comparative example, the sidewall of the light emitting layer 103is aligned with the edges 101 a and 102 a of the first type conductivelayer 101 and the second type conductive layer 102. As a result, largesurface recombination carrier loss may occur in the micro-LED betweenthe first type conductive layer 101 and the second type conductive layer102, negatively impacting the light emission efficiency of themicro-LED.

In contrast, in the first embodiment as well as other embodiments of thepresent disclosure, the light emitting layer 103 extends away from thetop edge 101 a of the first type conductive layer 101 and the bottomedge 102 a of the second type conductive layer 102, such that the edge103 a of the light emitting layer 103 does not contact the top edge 101a of the first type conductive layer 101 and the bottom edge 102 a ofthe second type conductive layer 102. As a result, surface recombinationcarrier loss may not occur in the micro-LED between the first typeconductive layer 101 and the second type conductive layer 102.Consequently, light emission efficiency of the micro-LED will beimproved.
